Introducing ValteraTM EZ herbicide - new liquid formulation now available

Calgary, AB – Growers in Eastern Canada have another convenient option for early season control of broadleaf weeds in soybeans, wheat and corn. ValteraTM EZ is a pre-emergent herbicide from Nufarm Agriculture Inc. that is now available in a liquid formulation.

 

“Valtera has been available in a dry formulation for several years in Canada delivering residual control for up to eight weeks after spring moisture activation,” says James Ferrier, Technical Services Manager for Nufarm. “And now we are excited to offer a new liquid formulation that will be more convenient to mix and measure during the busy spring season. Eliminating early weed competition is what Valtera does well, and now there’s a more convenient way to use it.”

 

Valtera EZ (Group 14) provides effective early season control of tough broadleaf weeds including pigweed, Canada fleabane, common ragweed, lamb’s-quarters, dandelion, nightshades, waterhemp and many more. The product can be applied a minimum of seven days before planting wheat and field corn (no-till only), and up to three days after planting soybeans.

 

“By managing troublesome weeds before they emerge, Valtera EZ is an excellent option in an integrated approach to building a strong soybean program,” says Ferrier. “Valtera EZ can be tank-mixed with glyphosate along with most burndown and pre-emergent herbicides including Nufarm’s BlackHawk® and Credit® Xtreme.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
